The beaked hazelnut is one of the earliest trees to bloom. It brightens late winter with dangling cream-colored catkins that appear before the leaves, an early source of beauty and pollen in the garden. Its velvety, birch-like leaves turn a brilliant golden yellow in fall, while its unique beaked husks enclose edible nuts prized by both wildlife and foragers. Squirrels, and songbirds feed on the nuts, buds, and catkins. Though its nut yield is smaller than commercial hazelnuts, it offers unmatched habitat value, seasonal beauty, and a touch of wild elegance to shaded gardens and food forest plantings.
